What exactly happened when Mikoto and Touma saved Kuroko, + an extra dialogue at the end that wasn't included in the anime:

Spoiler for volume 8 break or crash:
Just as Shirai’s mocking herself, the area starts to make a cracking sound, like glass being pressed together. It’s coming…Shirai weakly thinks. Though there was no such phenomenon with instant teleportation and Move Point, Shirai is clear about this.

It seems that in 10 seconds time, a mass of 4,520kg will pass through space and hit her.

From outside the broken windows, the noises of car engines echo throughout like never before, but the room is engulfed in terrifying silence. The difference in the two sides is huge, and made Shirai want to laugh. Though she can’t hear the unsuitable light French music echoing in the background, that created a chilly feeling even more.

I don’t want to die, Shirai thought.

At the same time, she knows that Misaka Mikoto can’t hear her, yet Shirai can’t help but continue to plead inside her heart.

Being extremely expectant that the Railgun might hear this commotion and run over.

(I beg of you…)

Shirai is unable to move her body on her own.

But if someone is supporting her, she might be able to walk.

If at this moment, there’s a savior.

If someone can appear at the last minute like an old-school hero…

(I beg of you…)

The twin-pigtailed girl continues to pray.

At this final moment that will end.

(Please run away…don’t get involved in this…Onee-sama…)

Shirai Kuroko earnestly prays.

Musujime Awaki’s attack will immediately come, and she won’t be able to escape. At this moment, even if someone does come up, it’s unlikely that she’ll be saved. If Mikoto arrives at the scene and sees her lying on the floor, she’ll rush over without any hesitation. Mikoto doesn’t even know that this attack that will pass through space will arrive anytime soon, and even if she senses this attack through extremely sharp alertness, she probably won’t be able to make it if she wants to carry Shirai out of this building. The worst case scenario is that both of them would be crushed to death by the collapsing building, and the possibility of it is rather high.

Just…

Just…

(Ahh…)

Shirai hears something…

Dong dong dong…footsteps can be heard from the entrance of the level where there is no one. Maybe they felt that the lift is too slow, so they dashed up the stairs.

No, not just footsteps.

There’s also the sparks of electricity.

(AHH…NOOO!!!)

Shirai’s face instantly turns pale.

Though she wants to stop the owner of these footsteps, she can’t move.

Thus, Shirai can only shout,

“NO, DON’T COME HERE!!”

Right now, the savior who’s coming over to save her at this perfect moment touched Shirai so much that she’s about to cry. She desperately works her throat, inducing every last ounce of strength to squeeze out the voice.

“THERE’S GOING TO BE A SPATIAL ATTACK HERE! DON’T COME HERE! HURRY UP AND LEAVE! THE WHOLE BUILDING WILL COLLAPSE!!”

Shirai Kuroko continues to scream while she’s on the floor, covered in blood.

The area around her starts to give out a cackling sound. Maybe the full attack is about to arrive, or it’s just a deliberate way of hinting.

“…!”

Shirai feels extremely anxious. Since she teleported into the shop in the first place, she doesn’t know the layout and passageways of the building. However, from the sound, it seems that the owner of the footsteps will require more than ten more seconds to get there. Though the displacement is short, it’ll take a long time to get around the lifts and passages, so the person most likely won’t make it in time.

Shirai doesn’t know what Musujime would teleport over.

But a 4,520kg object—once it presses onto the ground, it’ll cause the floor and the entire building to collapse. The people inside the building will definitely meet their end.

She can’t let this happen.

She definitely can’t let this happen.

“RU…NNNNNNNN…!!!!”

Shirai’s about to break down in tears. Even until the last moment, she wants to cry out, but it’s too late. At this moment, the space inside the room starts to distort, like she’s seeing through convex lenses. Maybe the space was forced apart, changing the air pressure on the level, causing a refraction of light and creating this phenomenon.

The attack is starting.

“…!”

Shirai grits her teeth and exerts all her strength.

However, she still can’t move her limbs. Not even a finger can move. Shirai Kuroko is really upset. If she had even more power, she would have used her instant teleport easily and teleport the person who’s coming in to save her at the same time. Besides, if she could have beaten Musujime Awaki, she wouldn’t be stuck in this crisis.

But no matter how upset she may upset, her power isn’t going to increase.

The reality is cruel.

(Onee…sama…!)

Though Shirai Kuroko is just barely hanging on, she still tries to squeeze out a last ounce of strength. She knows that it’ll aggravate her injuries, and that it won’t help to change this situation one bit, she still won’t allow herself to relax and give up. At the same time, she’s making a final prayer.

She wishes that there is a miracle where that powerful yet ordinary girl would be saved.

BOOM!!

The prayer seems to have worked. An orange light passes through the floor and the ceiling.

A shot of metal at three times the speed of sound.

The slanted heated beam passes through the level like a needle, with a speed so fast that any human can’t sense it. Like a laser, neither the start nor the end can be seen, only a straight line can be seen. This terrifying speed even leaves a residual image behind.

Shirai is stunned as she sees this.

After that, there’s a rumbling sound as the entire building shakes. The orange line is like a fuse, creating an extraordinary destructive storm. A large blowhole two meters in diameter opens up as everything in the line is blown apart, away or completely destroyed. The floor seems to be tilted downwards as the sound of rubble falling can be heard.

The Railgun.

Shirai, who’s on the ground, remembers this power and the name of the person who has this power.

“We’ll make it now that we have a hole to access through.”

Shirai hears the familiar voice of the girl.

Without anxiety, without fear, without hesitation, the words are filled with confidence, as if the person’s not caring about the danger.

“Though I’m unhappy about this, I can only work up till here. After this, we can only rely on your fist to bring her back!”

On hearing this, Shirai is shocked.

She inadvertently turns around.

The blowhole created by the Railgun is like a tunnel through the concrete floor. The debris of the ceiling and the tables, chairs and umbrellas are attracted by magnetism, sticking together through the slanted blowhole to form a ladder. A boy is running up this flight of stairs.

They wouldn’t be able to make it if they ran up the original staircase.

If so, they should just ignore those stairs.

The boy who’s running up this most ridiculous shortcut ever conceived isn’t holding any weapons. He doesn’t look like he has any amazing ability. However, he continues to dash up without any fear. He clenches his right fist as hard as rock as he heads towards this obviously abnormal space.

The distortion of the space reaches its maximum less than a second later, cracking from inside.

At that moment, the boy swings his fist without any hesitation.

The abnormality seems to be some sort of illusion. Though Musujime’s attack is powerful, it doesn’t bring the sense of reality.

A mass of 4,520kg.

The boy’s fist forms a terrifying hammer as it slams at the huge mass.

BAM!! The boy’s fist hits the middle.

The boy grits his teeth. His fist ignores the change in space as it moves forward.

An amazing thing happens.

Suddenly, a sound of steel being hit can be heard. The originally distorted space seemed to be flattened by the boy’s fist. The invisible thing that refracted the light seemed like it was punched far away.

For a three-dimensional object to do a forced intervention on the eleventh-dimension spatial axis; Shirai, who mastered these calculations, understands very well that this is like driving up the wrong way on a one-way street.

This ridiculous scene stuns Shirai. The boy says,

“Ah…we’re a bit late. Sorry. I’m really clueless this time, running around like a headless chicken. Luckily, I met Mikoto on the way…WAH, OI OI, aren’t you in a terrible shape!?”

The boy only seemed to realize that Shirai is severely injured now and immediately runs over.

“Why would you…risk you life for me…?”

Shirai murmurs. The one who repaired the distortion with an amazing ability, it shouldn’t be the person in front of her.

Thus, Shirai asks,

“Don’t we have no relation? No matter how powerful you are, you shouldn’t have sold your life for me. Why would you run over without any hesitation?”

On hearing this, the boy just remained stunned for a while.

After that, he says,

“You’re asking me why? I don’t know how to reply to that. Basically, it’s easier to settle the problem head on than to run away. To be honest, if you could have been saved even if I ran away, I would have run away.”

“It isn’t…so simple, right…? Don’t tell me you…aren’t afraid at all?”

Shirai’s words didn’t change the boy’s thoughts by a bit.

The boy replies without hesitation.

“About this, I would be afraid. But this is a promise.”

“A promise?”

Shirai asks. The boy looks around, seemingly trying to confirm that no one is around. After that, he lowers his voice and whispers,

“…That’s right, it’s a promise. This promise is to protect Misaka Mikoto and the world around her. This is my agreement with a certain nameless person who fell in love with her so quickly.”

The boy bitterly laughs,

“Maybe it’s a bit too late, but I want to ask you something. Have I fulfilled the promise with that guy?”

Shirai doesn’t understand what the boy meant. After thinking for a while, she looks around.

Shirai’s eyes focuses on one point.

Misaka Mikoto. The Railgun, that ace of Tokiwadai who is running over here through the huge blowhole that she made to the thoroughly injured kouhai of hers with a teary look on her face.

Right now, the person that Shirai Kuroko wants to protect the most is right in front of her.

“…That’s right, you protected it. Halfway.”

Shirai replies.

The other half is now carrying a luggage bag and escaping through Move Point.

“Really?”

The boy seem to realize something from Shirai’s words, and doesn’t question it. He just nods his head firmly.

After that, he says,

“Then, I’ll go and finish off the other half.”

Yup, somehow I knew that was going to happen........I try not to let my knowledge of the base material affect my expectations of the adaptation, but that's just beyond dumb.

Location: All ghillied up spying on someone ~2,000 yards away using telescope sights.

Age: 26

I was kind of disappointed it didn't make it though. Now that you guys keep reminding thread readers about that, any statements of "I'm pleased" I had for ep 7 is fading away real quickly. Not that I'm complaining about that though, I'm more towards the same level of not satisfied as you guys do.

Nah, I don't really have anything against it. My rating system goes more like 3, 3, 4.

3 marks for adaptation. (I gave it a 1.5 for this case)
3 marks for VA. (Gave it a 2.5. Would have been alright )
4 marks for the animation. (Well, I feel that this one's animated a lot better than the others so far, and so I gave it a 3).

Ep 7 is good. Even from a novel reader perspective, I definitely feel it was well done and paced well in consideration of what impression and flow they were going for. Let's face it, that scene was not THAT important. A scene that deserves to be shown, but far from key compared to say, Kuroko calling out to Awaki's hypocricy. But as a human who is not infallible, I can still feel a little bit disappointed. Just a little bit.
